If you get the accolade, that's wonderful. They'd be doing cartwheels down the street. We'll be very pleased if they feel we should be there. Pre-COVID, we played 62 countries around the world. If we were voted in, I'd be a very proud man, but I can't let it wear me down, either. Then there's a commission that decides who goes in. "I believe it's a lot of fans who submit thousands of votes. "I don't know how the selection process works, to be honest," he said. In a recent interview with BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Box was asked whether he had renewed optimism about a potential URIAH HEEP induction after JUDAS PRIEST got in last year via the Rock Hall's Musical Excellence Award. Very 'Umble", the following year, making them eligible for induction since 1995. The British hard rock legends formed in 1969 and released their first studio album, ".Very 'Eavy. But she has made sure that every time I deal with a dominant woman, at night I dream of David Byron and his cobwebs.URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box has weighed in on his band's chances of being into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. You'll never amount to anything," she said. I looked down carefully to make sure I didn't pee my pants. It all lasted just three minutes, but I was on the verge of tears. And in the end David Byron throwing a spider web in your face. scary noises, glowing skeletons, rats, smoke. The cart went up slowly, through a swinging door, and then. She smiled, with a mean streak, at least in my memory. I was pushed into a cramped cart with my niece sitting next to me. I'd always avoided the haunted house, but she wanted to go there, so I went. She was already something of a megalomaniac at the time. I was dragged to the fair by my 13 year old niece. The cover easily takes me back fifty years. But for me this cover for "Very 'Eavy., Very 'Umble" beats everything. Or "Demons and Wizards" with a drawing by Roger Dean, who is best known for his Yes covers. Take for instance "Look at yourself" with a piece of aluminum foil as a mirror. Uriah Heep's album covers from the 1970s are all brilliant. The band still performs and regularly visits De Boerderij. Uriah Heep still exists, albeit in a varying line-up. The performance at Pinkpop in 1976 was one of Byron's last appearances with Uriah Heep. He had long since been kicked out of the band. Byron drank himself to death and died in 1985 at the age of 38. Thain overdosed on heroin and died in 1975. He was replaced by John Wetton, of King Crimson fame. Bassist Gary Thain suffered an electric shock during a live show and as a consequence suffered paralysis of the arm. He felt like a rock star 24/7, with the accompanying alcohol abuse. David Byron was no match for the success. He behaves, like his mother, very submissive and humble, which he always emphasizes when he says something.) (The name Uriah Heep is taken from the bookkeeper's name from the book David Copperfield by the well-known English writer Charles Dickens. The beautiful organ sounds of Ken Hensley are also worth mentioning. David Byron had a voice that was as good as that of the lead singer of Deep Purple (Ian Gillan) or that of Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. Uriah Heep quickly grew into a top-notch band in the seventies, ranking amongst such peers as Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. Organist Ken Hensley himself makes a connection on the inside of the cover with the group's inexperience and the title. "Very 'Eavy." is Uriah Heep's first album. Whether the cover has a deeper meaning or is just a pretty (.) picture I haven't been able to figure out. The cover reminds me of the haunted house at the fair and my dominant niece from back in the day. The photo is of David Byron, the lead singer of Uriah Heep, with his face covered in cobwebs. The cover of Uriah Heep's ".Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble" still gives me the creeps, 51 years after the LP was released.
